Chapter 1985

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Enough!" Joanne's eyes filled with tears as she said to Quinton reluctantly, "Let her go. I'll go with you."

"You're being stupid again," Quinton scoffed. "This woman harmed you. If you were smart, you'd let me ruin her face so she would never bully you again... but you want to save her. You're even willingly putting yourself in danger for her. After all these years, how can you still be so stupid?" His expression was complicated as he spoke, and it was hard to tell if he was disappointed in her or just teasing.

Joanne's hatred for Quinton burned in her, and she couldn't fathom how someone so cruel existed. "Cut the crap! Didn't you want to take revenge on me? Hurry up and do it! Also, I don't care about what you do to her; she's a stranger to me."

"Yeah, she's right!" Gina's voice was shaky as she blurted out, "I was only hired this year, so I didn't have much to do with Joanne. We're not even close. If you ruin my face, it won't affect her at all…"

After a brief pause, Quinton

    "Yeah, I guess I overestimated myself. I don't know you well." Joanne gazed at the man she both loved and hated. "If I knew you well, I would have left you ages ago. I wouldn't have had to suffer, and that pitiful child wouldn't have had to die. I also could have been a mother, but it's impossible now…" "That child should have never been born. If you gave birth to the baby, it would have been torture for you. I saved you from that, so why do you hate me this much?" Quinton's gaze was icy, and there was no regret in his tone. If he did have any regrets, it would be that he didn't get rid of the child in a way where Joanna wouldn't have found out about it."Yeah, you're right. You're never wrong. Even now, you feel that you're just doing the best for me." Joanne closed her eyes, tears flowing down her cheeks. She no longer wanted to talk about it because there was no right or wrong. She felt that abortion was murder, and now, she could never have children. It was a punishment for bein

    "How fierce, Joanne. Do you really hate me that much?" Quinton shook his hand, wanting to grab Joanne again."Yes! I won't stop even if I die!" Joanne spat, and with a determined gleam in her eyes, smashed her head on the wall behind him.Quinton's eyes widened as Joanne's body slid down the wall limply, blood gushing from her head. "Joanne!" Quinton rushed forward and carried Joanne. She was light and soft in his arms, and his heart clenched. "Joanne, do you think you can leave me by doing this? You're too naive! Even if you die, your soul will still have to stay in my arms!" He roared as he carried her into the car. Initially, he wanted to rush her to the closest hospital, but after a brief hesitation, he reversed the car and called Renee. "Call Owen and ask him to wait in Everheart Manor now. Be quick!""What's the matter, Quinton? You—" Quinton hung up before Renee could finish, and speedily drove towards Everheart Manor. They had set up a clinic in Everheart Manor when Renee

    "What happened? Why did you call me?" Owen had been at a place he had wanted to fish at for a long time, but just as he sat down to fish, Renee had called him. "I don't care! You'll have to compensate me if this isn't a life-and-death situation. You all owe me a deep-sea grouper!""Sure, you got it. Just stop talking and save her!" Renee urged Owen as they rushed toward the clinic.Quinton hugged Joanne tightly in the clinic, refusing to let go of her. He looked heartbroken. "Hold on, Joanne. You've got to survive. Do you think this will be over if you're dead? If you're dead, I won't let you rest in peace. I'll find a way to bring your soul back. You can never leave me… Never!"Owen walked in with Renee, and he got goosebumps when he heard Quinton say that. "Umm… Is your brother always this dramatic?" Owen felt like he was in an asylum. "He's usually quite reserved and indifferent, but he's suddenly talking so much. It's strange."Renee's eyes grew wide in alarm and she hurriedly

    "What kind of logic is that?" Renee looked bewildered. "How did you bump into Joanne? Did you go to her school to meet her? What did you do to her? How did she get like this in such a short time?" "I tortured her, of course!" Quinton scoffed righteously. "I couldn't stand her shining so brightly while I was stuck in such a gloomy and cold place. I just wanted to pull her into my world, but she refused. She would rather die than submit to me, so she tried to kill herself. She wanted to use such a ridiculous method to torture me… How foolish! It doesn't affect me at all.""No way… You actually did go to her school?" Renee smacked her forehead, feeling regretful. She had underestimated his insanity and troubled Joanne. She had assumed that he would slowly open his heart when she told him about Joanne's current life, and he would forget about the past and make peace with Joanne. She had hoped they would lead a normal and wonderful life together, but unexpectedly, Quinton didn't want Joa

    After over half an hour, Owen exited the clinic calmly."How is Joanne?" Renee asked as she hurried forward."She's fine. She just lost a lot of blood, so I gave her a blood transfusion and some supplements. I'm guessing she'll wake up in around half an hour," Owen said nonchalantly. Simple physical injuries like these were easy to treat compared to the complex illnesses he had treated before. "That's great." Renee heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Quinton happily. "Did you hear that, Quinton? There's no need to worry. You can talk to her when she wakes up.""Hmm." Quinton just grunted, then stood up and walked to his room, his tall figure looking somewhat lonely.Owen watched Quinton leave, then asked Renee carefully, "What's your brother's relationship with that woman?""Umm…" Renee thought about it, but didn't know how to describe their relationship. "I guess they're considered siblings.""They don't look like siblings." Owen shook his head and said directly, "That woman

    As expected, Joanne woke up after a while. Her head was bandaged, and she looked weak and pale. Renee was too afraid to let Quinton see her in case he might upset her. She gently opened the door and walked in, carrying a tray of fruits and smiling. "Joanne, what a coincidence to see you again so soon!"Joanne looked past Renee to make sure she was alone, then glared at her coldly. "Is it? Didn't you cause this?" "Umm…" Renee kept her head hung as she nudged the carpet with her foot awkwardly, too ashamed to face Joanne. "It's not what you think... You know how crazy my brother is, and you can't stop him when he goes mad. I didn't expect this to happen either." Joanne imagined people tackling Quinton to the ground to stop him, and her body relaxed in amusement. However, she couldn't laugh in front of Renee, so she took a deep breath and whispered, "Where am I? Your brother… won't disturb me again, right?""Actually… this is my house," Renee confessed. "My brother also lives here."

    Renee couldn't understand it. "If it's not because of my crazy brother, what's your reason?" It seemed that the only thing in the whole manor that made Joanne uneasy was Quinton."I need to go back to my school to handle my affairs." A long sigh escaped Joanne. "Mr. Hunt got me that job, so I'm very thankful to him. It's like he's given me another chance, but I've let him down. After today's mess, I'm sure the parents will find fault with the principal, and I'm afraid it'll affect Mr. Hunt… that's why I want to go back to the school to settle it." Joanne felt like the only person in her life that truly cared for her was Stefan. He had rescued her so many times, but she hadn't repaid him for it. She didn't want to burden him either, so she wanted to resolve this issue even if she had to die."Oh, that's it…" Renee sighed in relief. "Don't worry. Just rest here; I'll help you settle it. Plus, don't feel like you owe Stefan something. You helped him back then, so he should help you sett

    "Yes, the school won't find fault with Mr. Hunt, but the parents aren't easy to pacify," Joanne added worriedly, "Lone Pine Elementary is an important school in this city, and its students come from either rich or noble families. Now, my class's parents know that I'm a teacher without any academic qualifications or experience, and that I have terrible scars all over me. They won't let it go. They'll demand an explanation, and then they'll find out that Mr. Hunt played a part in this. It'll affect Hunt Enterprise, and Mr. Hunt too.""Yes, you're right." Renee nodded in agreement. "Well, people are always afraid of what society says, and Hunt Enterprise has had quite a bad reputation lately. The news more or less affects the enterprise's stocks and sales." Renee wasn't worried because large companies like Hunt Enterprise usually had a Public Relations department to handle any bad news that could affect the company's image."So, you should know why I insist on going back. As the person

    Jovan looked away and snorted. "Stop daring me. It's useless. I won't let you go—at least, not now.""Then you're going to get me killed!" Renee became angry and anxious. Jovan must be crazy—there was no way to make him compromise! "I can't watch you get killed, so I can't let you go." Jovan coldly got up and exited the room.Renee watched silently as the door closed. A greater anxiety gripped her when she thought of the conflict between the Baldwin and Hunt families. She had to leave immediately, but she couldn't break free of the chain around her foot. There was no way to make Jovan compromise. She had no idea how to leave.While under great pressure, she noticed an iron art product on the bedside cabinet.A horrible idea dawned on her, but she had no idea if it would work. Jovan would probably be indifferent about it, and it might be useless. That, and she would have to pay a greater price. But she had no choice. "Forget it! I have to take this chance!" Renee took

    Jovan awkwardly tried to comfort Renee. However, his words sounded more hurtful and made her cry even louder. "This is all your fault!" Renee raised her head, then pointed at him while bawling loudly. "Did I ever anger you? Why did you frame me? What good did it bring you?""I…" Jovan's heart softened because of how pitiful she looked when she cried profusely. However, he was a pretentious man and would not show that he had gone easy on her. Instead, he tried to provoke her even more. "You can't change anything even if you cry loudly. Austin wants nothing but to kill you and your family now. If I were you, I wouldn't be in the mood to cry. I'll brace myself to manage a funeral for them."Renee was flabbergasted. She didn't expect him to be this inhuman. She was heartbroken, but he kept hurting her. She cried even more profusely."I'll keep on crying. Let me go if you can't take it. If you don't, I'll keep on crying until you can no longer take it!"She cried loudly as if she

    A major issue happened to two famous and great families. The entertainment channel and news channel kept reporting about it, let alone the financial channel.Jovan didn't have to turn to a specific channel when he turned on the TV. The screen was showing a scene related to the engagement ceremony."They…" Only then did Renee learn that while she was waiting in the makeup room for her turn to make an entrance, the atmosphere in the hall had turned very tense. Alexander and Francine argued and fought against Justin's parents in a way unsuited to their statuses. Everyone failed to wait until she made an entrance before she went missing. She saw how the situation gradually became worse. She also noticed Justin's disappointment in her and Austin's wrath. Austin finally couldn't control himself, and kidnapped Alexander and Francine. "The Hunt family has yet to make a statement about it. We also have no clue about Mr. Alexander Hunt and his wife's current circumstances. However, we

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b
